            The MIHF is the central entity of the IEEE 802.21 standard, defined as
            a logical entity whose purpose is to facilitate handover decisions to
            the network selector entity. Its purpose is achieved by providing the
            inputs to higher layers through abstract services and communicating with
            the lower layers of the mobility-management protocol stack through technology-specific
            interfaces. By other words, the MIHF provides mechanisms that enable
            the upper layers to manage and control the handover procedure in a media
            independent way.

<dd><p>
            The MIH-User specifies a media independent interface between the MIHF
            and upper layers of the mobility management protocol stack. The upper
            layers need to register with the MIHF as users to receive MIHF-generated
            events and link-layer events which are originated at lower layers. MIH-Users
            directly send commands to the local MIHF using the service primitives
            available in the 802.21 standard.

<dd><p>
            The MIIS Server provides details about the characteristics and services
            provided by the serving and neighbor networks. The information enables
            effective system access and effective handover decisions.

            The DNS-User enables the discovery of PoS entities in a given domain
            using the DNS services (according to the guidelines depicted in the RFC5679).

            The DHCP-User enables the discovery of PoS entities by using the DHCP

<dd><p>
            The Link SAP specifies an abstract media dependent interface between
            the MIHF and the lower layers media-specific protocol stacks of technologies
            such as IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.16, 3GPP and 3GPP2.

            The ICMP Link SAP allows the attachment detection of another node using
            the ICMP protocol.

            The <span class="emphasis"><em>client</em></span> is a simple application that lets you
            send any message to a particular destination. In this way, it is possible
            to send a specific message to a choosen destination in order to test
            is behaviour easily and quickly.

<dd><p>
            The <span class="emphasis"><em>dummyserver</em></span> is a simple application that, as
            the name implies, works like a dummy server. It is always listening (at
            port 4000) for incoming messages and it outputs them in the console.
